Work with Lori Smith (LPC) - BetterHelp Online Therapist

Lori is easily my favorite therapist to date. I've been in therapy for over 10 years and she's not only a pleasure to see but a genuine light in my day. She understands me and makes me feel like I'm talking to a friend rather than a therapist. She helps me navigate through my struggles without me feeling judged or small. She checks in on me regularly and is always encouraging me. I can't say enough kind things about her! Give this woman a raise ?

Written on Oct 13, 2021 after therapy with Lori for 2 weeks

this was my first time doing any sort of therapy. i had requested for prayer and scripture to be incorporated into our sessions and she provided so many great biblical and psychological resources that i will continue to use well regularly - tangible resources and daily practices to incorporate into my life to help strengthen all areas of my well-being - mind, body, heart, spirit. i’m so grateful. - also, even tho my subscription is cancelled, it still shows i’m active according to lori, but I CANT RESPOND TO HER because my subscription is actually cancelled and there is a loop of 2 pop-ups asking why i am not continuing the subscription and whether i want financial aid and back and forth.
